THE CUBAN FILIBUSTERS.

despatch from Key West, Fla says:
Espanol, the organ of the Spanish gov
ernment at Havana, announces the cap
tue and death Of BeribeB, leader Of tn
expedition which recently left here, and
says: 1.-The balance Of his band are sur.
rounded by troops and must soon surren-
der" The statement however IS much
doubted in Key West, as private advices
positively announce their safety, and il
IS said that the false report of this brave
leaders death was being circulated by
the Spanish authorities simply with a
view TO discourage others from going
from here TO join him.
The filibusters, numbering about $50
men at the time, did have an encounter
with the Spanish soldiers near Natanzas

WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.
WITHOUT ANY FOUNDATION

In answer to an inquiry relative to the
statement made IN the British house Of
commons by Sir James Ferguson, to the
effect that the government had ordered
discontinuance of the seizure of British
vessels sealing in Alaskan waters, Secre-
tary Bayard said that his attention had
already been drawn to the matter, and
he had read the statement with surprise.
He knew nothing of the making of an
order, such as described. The vessels
seized are now in the custody of the
judiciary, awaiting the action of the
courts, which will determine the legality
of the seizures. Touching that part of
the statement ascribed to the British
parliamentary secretary, where he says
that the seizures are to be discontinued,
while fisheries negotiations are in pro
gress, Secretary Bayard said that there
was no relation or connection of any
kind between the seizures in Alaskan
waters and questions arising under the
treaty of 1918 relative to the Canadian
fisheries. Negotiations with the Brit
ish government upon the last named
subject ue progressing as well as can be
expected. No selections have been
made of persons to assist the United
States government in the negotiations,
but Secretary Bayard says he is hopeful
of his ability to lay before congress, when
it assemblies, q satisfactory basis of set
tlement of the difference between the
United States and Great Britain respect.

Narrow Escape From a Big Bear.

The largest bear any of us ever saw
was cinnamon that came within an inch
of killing one of my men, a good hun
ter and first-class guido-Charles Huff.
q may refer to the big cinnamon, too, as
an instance of the danger that sometimes
attends trapping the bear.) He had set
his traps near Sunlight, in the spring,
and was unable to visit them for q week.

were gone. After taking up the trail, he
soon found the remnants of his log

trap He followed his trail as long as he
had light, but found nothing, and had to
return to camp. Next day, very fool
ishly, he took the trail again alone, be-
ginning where he had left off. After a
long march he came to the steep side of a
hill the bear had evidently gone up
there; on the soft, snow-sodden ground
the trail was plain. Just as he was be.
ginning to ascend, there was rush and
had no time to put his repeater to his
shoulder, but letting it fall between his
hands, pulled the trigger. The bear was
within few feet of him, and by great
chance the unaimed bullet took him be-
tween the eyes. He had evidently tried
the hillside, and, worried by the heavy
trap, had come back on his trail and
lain behin1 great heap Of dirt, into
which he had partly burrowed, waiting
for his enemy Among the debris of

ofthe Famous Americas Cup.
A dispatch from New York says: "The
third attempt to have trial race to
choose the ablest yacht as the defender
of the Americas cup against the Scotch
Thistle resulted in one of the finest con-
tests ever seen in these waters.
There was a strong wind blowing
from north to northwest all day. 1t
reached a velocity of thirty miles an
hour. Added to the SPLENDID condition
of the elements was the excellent judg-
ment of the committee, who decided
after the yachts got under way, that a
triangular race should be sailed. That
decision gave the contestants a course
of thirty eight miles to sail over with the
wind on every hand.
They had aTun to leeward of ten miles
stretch Of nine miles and return, and a
beat for home of ten miles. AT every
turn and in every weather, except dur
ing the first part Of the run to leeward,
when the Mayfiower sailed better than
the Volunteer, the latter beat her oppon-
ent. The outcome of the days race was
that the Volunteer was chosen by the
Americas cup committee, who judged
the event from the flagship Electra, to
meet the Thistle in the international
contest.
The Thistle was out too, but her hand
ling was of such kind during the first half
of the race as to give no idea of what she
could do. After that she was evidently
sailed for all she was worth with foul
bottom, and under the conditions was
out sailed by both the Msyfower and the
Volunteer. The official table of figures
made by the judges was as follows:
